Tyler Keillor has been working with museums and paleontologists since 1999. He is employed as a paleoartist and fossil preparator at the University of Chicago Fossil Laboratory, and he has also helped exhibit a variety of paleo-projects for other researchers, universities, and museums around the world.  Tyler’s work typically involves preparing fossils for research, restoring damaged skulls and bones, and sculpting flesh-models of extinct creatures as they may have looked in life. Recently, he has also begun working with digital technology to create virtual 3D models of ancient life forms.
